From the oft-polluted mailbag: "CBS News staffers are thrilled that Katie Couric has taken a brave and bold stand that no one has ever taken before. The CBS diva told her executive producer Rick Kaplan to lighten up on his notoriously noxious cologne. Kaplan is legendary for wearing what seems like an entire bottle of manly scent every day on his Shrek-like 6'8" frame. CBS News is only the lastest news division to suffer the HazMat effect of Kaplan's scent. ABC, CNN and MSNBC have finally been detoxed. Now it's CBS's turn, suffering the "Old Spice attack" as it's been called. Indeed, ABC News colleagues during the first Gulf War jokingly donned their protective gas masks not to survive Saddam's chemical attacks but to endure Kaplan's powerful scent. Couric told Kaplan to knock it off with the cologne because whenever he hugged her she carried his stink with her all day. Couric couldn't take it anymore. Kaplan replied that he had no idea his cologne was so strong - he claims that he doesn't have a good sense of smell."
